For most if not all businesses operating in the current global environment, there are a number of products and services that are reliant on a high speed Internet connection. Whether for the purpose of transferring large files from one device to another, or simply for the purpose of printing from the Wi-Fi connected printer, entities are increasingly desirous of an Internet service that can fully complement their needs.
Availability is Key
In understanding the desire for greater bandwidth across all major platforms and industries, Comcast – through its subsidiary Comcast Business – is seemingly on a mission to satisfy the demand, as well as exceed expectations. Recently, they extended their fiber optic network to 10 communities in the state of New York, providing them with the best they have to offer in terms of their Ethernet service. These communities are Beekman, Brewster, Carmel, Kent, Patterson, Pawling (town and village), Putnam Valley, Somers and Southeast, spanning the counties of Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester.
Considering that Comcast has established itself in almost 40 states across the US, one would not be faulted for thinking that it’s only a matter of time before businesses located within the towns and cities of each will also be able to enjoy the full extent of the Ethernet service as well. As a matter of fact, less than a month or so ago it was announced that expansions were made in Connecticut, Texas, Vermont and Washington.
What does Ethernet do for them?
The services made available to the ‘Big Apple’ communities are Ethernet Private Line, Ethernet Virtual Private Line, Ethernet Network Service, and Ethernet Dedicated Internet. With this, business operators are able to do everything from establishing a network for the devices within a particular location, to connecting multiple locations to the same network – the latter would be ideal for organizations, as the virtual space they operate and share information through would make the geographical space disparity a non-issue.
The bandwidth – which has the potential of speeds up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) – will enable the organizations to improve their functionality and productivity in a number of areas, with cloud computing being just one of the lot. With this, the chances of businesses not being able to function at an optimum level decrease.
Charlie Tzoumas, Vice President of Comcast Business.
There is no business in operation that does not have development and an improvement in their overall efficiency as a core aspect of their daily activities, and many would argue that a fast and reliable high speed Internet service is integral to achieving this. Charlie Tzoumas, Vice President of Comcast Business expressed similar sentiments when discussing the latest New York expansion, “Our fiber expansion in these ten communities is the latest example of the significant investments we’ve made to increase the availability of our Ethernet services to help foster economic development and drive competition, innovation and value for our customers.” He also stated, “Whether it’s a hospital transferring large radiology files, a police department looking to monitor surveillance video feeds in real-time, or a library needing more Wi-Fi capacity, bandwidth is increasingly becoming the engine driving all businesses.”
Why choose Comcast Ethernet?
Many business operators will readily acknowledge that establishing a great network is integral to the overall success of the entity. As far as great networks go, Comcast is undoubtedly among the leaders.
Proof of their impact on the market is highlighted in the fact that they were named the fastest growing Ethernet provider for 2013. Comcast also achieved a milestone for their services to businesses and similar large-scale operations, becoming the first service provider in the world to attain Metro Ethernet Forum’s (MEF) Carrier Ethernet 2.0 Certification.
What business would shy away from the products of a service provider with a high reputation?
Reasons to be Interested
In making an assessment for the acquisition of a particular service, what many individuals will consider before making a decision are the features. Aside from the improved data transference speeds that were mentioned earlier (bandwidth speeds of up to 10 Gbps), there is also a high level of security in place to protect the network. With a top quality firewall, businesses will be able to protect their information, as well as those of their clients or customers from cyber criminals who may seek to exploit it through creations such as spyware and malware.
Additionally, businesses have 24/7 access to Comcast Business’ technical support staff, so any issues related to the service can be resolved at any time. It is a fact that many businesses operate outside of the traditional “9-5” bracket, so it only makes sense that the service is always there with them.
Ten New York communities were recent beneficiaries of Comcast Business’ Ethernet expansion, but the overall impact of such a service is arguably immeasurable. With an increase in bandwidth, businesses can now expand their objectives with the assurance that the service being provided can meet their demands.
